"Grace, Race & Renewing the Commons" literary festival

Date:

10/19/2019

Wollam Gardens is at 5167 Jefferston Road, in Jeffersonton, Virginia, 10 miles from Warrenton.

An all-day event of authors at a locavore flower farm, Wollam Gardens, near Warrenton, Virginia, from 10 am to 7 pm, featuring workshops and TED-style talks. My talk will be at 3:20 pm. Full program here. Tickets -- $39 online; $45 the week of the event; $20 for students -- can be bought here.

A focus on peer-organised initiatives for relocalised agriculture, platform co-operatives, cosmo-local production, urban commons, community wealth building, and sustainable care work, among other approaches. Participants will leave with a keener sense of specific models for actualising social and economic change; a vocabulary and concepts that open up new vistas of possibility; and a mental map of the leading people, projects, websites, and movements developing new institutional forms.
